    simples. buy the guage you want, it should come with its own specific sender too, now this sender will need fitting into the water circuit somewhere. theres a blanked thread on some thermostat housings that can be used with suitable thread adapter or you can get inline adapters wher you cut your top hose insert the adapter and the sender screws into it.the rest of the wiring is easy,
    signal wire to sender back to guage, earth to sender .live to guage and light feed to guage (usually) not a definitive guide but a good ide how to go about it.
    also need somewhere suitable to mount guage in car,pods or radio blanks also work well....
